MONTGOMERYVILLE, Pa., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PhotoMedex, Inc. today announced the results of its operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

XTRAC(R) procedures billed in this year’s second quarter increased 55 percent from 2005 second quarter levels. On a sequential basis, in the second quarter of 2006, XTRAC(R) revenue rose 25 percent from the levels reported in the first quarter of 2006.

Jeffrey O’Donnell, PhotoMedex CEO and President, commented, “We are encouraged by continued growth in XTRAC procedures in this year’s second quarter. Our marketing efforts are having a positive impact in our target areas, and with increased production levels, our margins have improved as planned. We are pleased with the progress made in the second quarter and are confident that we are on track to achieve our income prior to non-cash charges goal for the year.”

Last year’s second quarter loss included depreciation and amortization of $806,358. There was no employee stock-based compensation expense recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2005 because the adoption of the new accounting standard FAS 123R occurred on January 1, 2006. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release to GAAP financial measures, and a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included below in the section on non-GAAP Measures.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement PhotoMedex’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, PhotoMedex has begun providing certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP loss per fully diluted share.

PhotoMedex’s reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, nor superior to, GAAP results.

These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of PhotoMedex’s current financial performance and provide further information for comparative information due to the adoption of the new accounting standard FAS 123R.

Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. In addition, PhotoMedex believes non-GAAP measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense enhance the comparability of results against prior periods. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release is as follows:
